ConEst Wins Constructech 50 HOTTEST Award for 2009

MANCHESTER, NH – (June 29, 2009) ConEst Software Systems, an acclaimed technology innovator of estimating, design build, project management and billing software solutions for the electrical, low voltage and structured cabling industries, announced today that it has been selected as one of Constructech magazine’s 50 HOTTEST for 2009.

The Constructech 50 HOTTEST is a listing of the most influential construction technology providers with a strong and ongoing market presence as determined by the editors of Constructech magazine with assistance from its editorial advisory board.

Published in the first annual Constructech IT Playbook, this directory is a new variation on the Hottest Companies awards that Constructech has presented in the past. While in previous years companies were judged based on the success and growth found solely in the past year, winners of the Constructech 50 HOTTEST are evaluated on a continued and dominant presence in the marketplace.

“Perhaps the reason that electrical contractors know ConEst Software Systems so well is the fact that ConEst knows the electrical contracting market so well”, reads the quote from the Constructech editors in the IT Playbook. “Guided by strong leadership that constantly has its focus on helping the industry embrace new and innovative technology, ConEst has clearly established itself among the leaders for electrical and data cabling contractors.”

The Constructech editorial team considered various criteria when determining the 2009 winners from some 200 considered companies. Some of those criteria included having a strong product/service aimed at the construction industry, customer satisfaction and growth, as well as outreach and educational efforts for the communication industry.

“The Constructech 50 HOTTEST honors the hard work and dedication that these exceptional companies have shown in the construction space,” said Mike Carrozzo, chief editor of Constructech. “Though economic turmoil has been prominent and the construction market has seen struggles, this year’s winners have still found success and are taking part in the move toward improvement in the industry.”

“On behalf of everyone at ConEst, we thank the Constructech editorial team for recognizing ConEst Software Systems with this award,” said George Hague, President and CEO of ConEst. “ConEst is proud of this award as recognition of its on-going commitment at every level of business,” continued Mr. Hague. “We take pride in our reputation as a quality-focused company and awards such as this are a testament to the quality we deliver everyday in our products and services for the benefit of all of our customers.”
